Recently, Sac Hub had the chance to interview a representative from The Gospel Vine, a local business that is dedicated to marketing events to the faith-based community in Sacramento, Central Valley and the Bay Area. The Gospel Vine specializes in low-cost, high-impact marketing for churches, gospel concerts, Christian plays, inspirational poetry, fellowship events and much more. Read on to learn a little bit more about how the company is helping the Christian community–both locally and nationally.

Sac Hub: What are some of the challenges that you are facing as an entrepreneur and how are you dealing with it?
The Gospel Vine (TGV): The current economy has caused gospel event promoters to struggle. This industry is already hindered with corporate funding restrictions and sometimes non-commercial marketability. Many promoters have impressive project concert plans headlining the largest gospel artists on the charts. However as of late, too many events have failed due to inadequate ticket sales and community support. As the advertising partner, it’s often difficult to watch these ambitious promoters get discouraged and take significant financial lossess while trying to do something so positive for their communities. If the promoters loose their ambition then the entire community looses out because ultimately these entertainment opportunities begin to diminish.

Sac Hub: Three words that best describe the service/products of the business:
TGV: Advertising/Marketing, Christian Entertainment, Fellowship-Networking Opportunities

Sac Hub: Describe the services offered in very blunt words?
TGV: E-blast marketing and radio and other services offerred through extended media partners.

Sac Hub: Who are the majority of your clients?
TGV: Gospel promoters, churches/ministries and Christian business owners.

Sac Hub: Tell us about the needs you see your clients wanting and how you are able
to meet their particular needs:
TGV: Smaller ministries often have quality productions, anointed visions and awesome talent. However their budgets and resources are limited. Often, they can’t take advantage of the major media outlets and are forced to rely on word of mouth and other limited efforts to fill their events.

TGV: The goal of The Gospel Vine is to be a platform for small and large faith-based entities to have a voice in the community. And to bring awareness and celebration to the Christian-lifestyle. We want to make people aware that the faith-based community is vibrant, diverse, fun and very active. Living a Christian lifestyle doesn’t have to equal major entertainment sacrafice.

This keeps us humble and true to our Christ-centered foundation. We don’t pray that each event is successful, instead we pray that God’s Will be done. We want each event to rise to His glory instead of being judged by man’s standard.
